One-hundred fifty years later, another Queen Consort of France, Maria LeszczyAska, daughter of King StanisAaw LeszczyAski of Poland and wife King Louis XV of France, gave birth to twin girls: Marie Louise Alisabeth and Henriette Anne.

Against this backdrop the princess embarked on her first official state visit, touring South Africa with her father, King George VI, her mother, the Queen consort Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, and younger sister, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon.

Eliane Viennot, in her biography of Marguerite de Valois--youngest daughter of Henri II and Catherine de' Medici and queen consort of Henry IV--adopts a similar strategy, employing this princess's given name when discussing the person and Margot, Ronsard's invention to allegorize her in a bergerie, to indicate her myth.
